Novel Uses for Gravestones.
From the Boston Courier.

from the Boston courier.
Nothing goes on III an uninterrupted
career in this world, however, and
even gravestones come now and then
to strange uses. In q village in Maine,
for instance, g. farmer, having waxed
in fortune until he was able to replace
the slate gravestones in his family
burial lot by marbles, was too thrifty
to throw the old slabs away. He
therefore utilized them as door stones,
so that all visitors to the kitchen and
the dairy trod upon Inscriptions grad
ually fading away, with which scrip
tual phrase; and the cheerful oversee
ing OF triangular visaged cherubs,
recorded the names, the virtues and
the untimely taking off of the forefath-
ers of the thrifty farmer.
In another Maine village is, Or was,
g. boarding school for young ladies, in
the kitchen OF which large white
marble slab, sacred to the memory of
g. worthy woman, whom it described
as having died in the Lord, was used
as a kneading-board. Now and then
a loaf Of bread after it was moulded
would rest for moment or two on
the deeply cut inscription, and the
DuDA1S OFC1ICo-AOW Inc
editor makes no pretens Of being able
to determine-that> they had been able
to decipher bits of the words printed
on the bottom of the slices of bread.
But perhaps the most remarkable
fate for a tombstone was that which
befell the moss-grown slab in an En-
glish churchyard. An American par
venu of the same family name as that
Of the man whose death the stone re-
corded purchased the stone of dis.
honest sexton and brought it home
with her. 1t is now set into the wall
of her sumptuously appointed New
York library, beside a fictitious pedi-
gree, which lies to all beholders by
tracing the family of the present own
or back to that of the man whose
name is on the stone. AS he has been
dead ITO years, he is probably beyond
caring for such things, else Mrs. Par
venu might have good rea on to ex-
pect call from the ghost some night,
come to reclaim his orsvestone.

Vulcanizing Rubber.

The way in which the process OF
vulcan1zing rubber came to be dis
covered by the Goodyears was told to
q reporter some years ago by John
Dixon, one of Goodyear's employees.
The men had a habit of chewing rub
Der much as the modern schoolgirl
chews gum. One day, while Dixon and
an Irishman were carrying some rub
Der on an iron handbarrow to the
oven, the Irishman was taken with a
fit of coughing as he passed q barrel OF
sulphur, and involuntarily spat out
bis rubber end. 1t fell into the barrel.
Setting down the barrow, he MADE a
grab for it and recovered it. The
sulphur, however, adhered.to its moist
surface, and he threw it down with
an expression OF disgust. 1t fell
upon the barrow, aud was put into the
oven with it. When the barrow was
taken from the oven Dixon saw that
the little piece of rubber had assumed
new appearance. He examined it
carefully, and became convinced that
he held In his hand the key to the dis
covery Mr.. Goodyear had been search
ing for. He took the little thing to
Mr.. Goodyear who, when he saw it,
became very much excited. Dixon
told him the circumstances under
which the change had been effected,
and Mr.. Goodyear set his son and
Dixon at work experimenting. Itwas
several months before they succeeded,
but finally learned the secret Of MAX
ing vulcanized rubber.
